Do you have a link to the conversation you had with Jarod?  A quick googling
didn't turn up anything for me.  My lirc_serial got intermittent too after
upgrading from ubuntu 8.04 (2.6.24) to 9.04 (2.6.31).  I have about a 90%
success rate, but it really hurts that 10% of the time a digit gets dropped
and I end up recording a bass fishing show instead of HBO :)
